of the ioodemned, who were the second, third, and fifth, of those we have above named ; but it was not so. After a quarter of an hour of cruel torture, taken up with - fresh preparations, two of them reascended the scaffoldwith great firmness, the third was obliged to be carried. In an instant after they were no more. NeW - Ircirk and other American Papers to the 16th ult. reached town yesterday, having been brought by the ship Canada to Liverpool. They are principally filtd with accounts of the funeral obsequies, in honour of the late E.OfeSidelltS, JEFFERSON and ADAMS. They contain, however, accounts from Porto Cabello, (Ve nezuela) and Carthagena, which indicate a very criti cal state of affairs at the former place, while the latter is threatened with an immediate - attack from the Spanish squadron under Commodore LABORDE. Extracts will•be found in a preceding column. We received last night, Lisbon Gazettes from the 17th to the 23d of July ; but as they are of a date anterior to those which before reached us, their con tents, generally, are not worth giving. We are, how ever, by them put in possession of the additional Treaty between Brazil and Portugal, whereby the former engages to pay the latter two millions sterling, for the, purpose of liquidating the Loan contracted in London, in October, 1823. This is actually robbing Peter to pay Paul. The Treaty is signed with others by Sir CHARLES STUART, as Plenipotentiary of the late King of Portugal. Frankfort Papers of the 6th inst. also reached town last night. They contain intelligence from Constan tinople—to the 11th ult., being no later than that Which reached us some day* since by the Newt) Pa pers. It is mentioned, that a division of twenty-five *hips of the CAPITAN PAcnA's fleet had sailed from the Dardanelles on the 4th. It was supposed that his first enterprise might be directed against Samos ' • the inhabitants of w hi ch, according to accounts from Smyrna, were well inclined to submit on reasonable 'conditions. Letters from Monte Video, of the 17th May, have been received via Boston, by which we learn that Admiral PINTOS, the new Brazilian Admiral, had ar rived there; and superseded Admiral tom) and three of his Captains, who are to be tried by a Court Mar tial. The following is an extract of one of the letters :- 111orits Vint°, MAY 14.—The new Brazilian Admiral has arrived-from Rio Janeiro with two frigates and two fine brigs of war.. Ho immediately suspended Admiral Lobo and three of his Captains, and is reading them in a transport to Rio Janeiro, there to be tried by a Court Martial. These three Captains commanded three fine corvettes, and are replaced by three Englishmen—men of knoWn ccnrage and activity. The Admiral has made fresh ar rangements for effecting the most strict and rigorous blockade of Buenos Ayres. The three Brazilian frigates are to cruise between this place and Point Indio, and a line of schooners will be placed across the'river, at signal distance, so as to prevent any vessels tatting up.. Five corvettes and four brigs, with a number of small vessels, are to go up the river to attack Admiral Brown, and prevent Buenos Ayres from procuring supplies of wood, and We are daily looking for the arrival pf some bomb-vessels from Rio Janeiro, for the purpose of bombarding Buenos Ayres. Brussels papers to the 12th of. August, and the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th, have been received this morning.. . The latter contains nothing but an account of a silver head of some unknown animal, supposed to have been an idol, having been fished up in the river Sar : and an article from Trieste, containing the same account from Corfu, which appeared in the French Papers, of of th e arrival of Lord COCHRANE in the Arci- Pelagtn .... ft adds, that •• according to a report in 'circulation at Trieste, Commodore HAMILTON had exacta a. promise from his Lordship to commit no hostilities against the Ottoman fleet ; this .is, however, doubted by other persons, who look for important xesults." We give the following extracts:— saussit.s, A uo. 9. The King has just approved a project laid before him, by the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts, for erecting a colossal statue of P. P. Rubens in one of the principal squares in this City. The *:pence is to be defrayed by a national subscription, and all the Artisti in the Kingdom are invited to become competitors. The Quotidienne says that a general subject of conversation at Paris, is the magnificence which the ex-King of Spain, Joseph Boonaparte, is going to display at Brussels; and hence abundance o f conjectures, presages, and alarms, in the danger of such a neighbour to France, and urgent counsel* that it may take precau tions against a man who is going perhaps "to wake of his house, a Palace; of hie household, a Court; and of his friends and discon tented persons, a new people of subjects." The Quotidienne will Permit us to laugh a little at this panic terror. One of the first instances with which we happen to have become acquainted of this excessive magnificence is, that this individual has taken a walk elonsohrough the streets of Brussels, asking the first person .he met to show him the way. Dutch Papers to' the 12th inst., and Hamburgh Papers to the 9th inst.; have r eac hed us at a late hour this afternoon. Th e J ourna l d e S t.

'The sentence of all, however, had been witigated except the five who suffered, and those who are to serve as common soldiers.

We regret to find that the peace of Dublin has been threatened by the assemblage of mobs ,colleutetl in consequence of the injurious effect produced upon the low er or d ers, by persons it) trade exactinffthe same prices for small articles in British currency which they I before charged in Irish currency, although the former is 1-13th more valuable than the latter. We before alluded to this subject, and showed the propriety of some interference of the authorities to prevent the small traders taking this advantage of the labouring classes in Dublin. It appears that a Meeting has been held at the Royal ,Exchange to take this subject into consideration, and a Committee was chosen to devise some practical measures to counteract the evil. The Committee immediately proceeded to business, and the Freeman's Journal says, that " several resolutions were agreed to, amongst others one to memorial the Lords of the Treasury, to call in immediately the old copper and to issue new in the place of it." Something we trust will be done immediately, for although the present meetings of the lower classes have nothing of a political nature in them, we know not how soon they may assume a more desperate and dangerous character. We are glad to add, that the accounts to-day from the Irish Papers are more satisfactory. The observations which have been lately made in some of the daily papers, respecting the arrangements of the General and Two-penny Post, have brought us several letters from different parts of the country, point ing out defects in the present system, and complain ing of irregularities, particularly in the receipt of News papers. To all these correspondents we would sug gest that they should address their letters to Mr. FREELING, who never fails to attend to any com plaint, and will, we have no doubt, listen to "my pro position, hiving folio object the improvement of existing arrangements. There is certainly one altera tion which has been suggested; which we conceive might be easily accomplished, and would be productive of general advantage and convenience. We mean the earlier delivery of letters. Most of the Mails arrive in London between six and seven o'clock in the morning, and yet in the western part of the town it is ten or eleven o'clock before the delivery takes place, by which means many persons are prevented getting their letters before they 'leave home on their several avocations ; and even in parts of the town nearer the Post-office, letters are frequently not delivered till after the hour at which business of all sorts actually begins. if it be impossible to make such internal arrangements as would facilitate the sorting and earlier delivery, of the , letters, without altering the time of the Mail's arrival at the General Post-office, we cannot conceive that there would be any difficulty, in the present improved state of the roads and expeditious system of travelling, in hastening their arrival one hour, without much altering their time of departure from distant towns. Many of the Mails are now proverbially the slowest coaches which travel the 1 'road, while others, where expedition has been required, travel one mile and a half per hour faster than Mails from other places ; and by this means, in one or two instances, actually arrive in town at eleven or twelve o'clock at night. In country towns the early delivery of letters is, perhaps, even still more important than in London, and this improvement might, we are con vinced, be easily made, simply by giving the necessary orders to that effect to the Post Master, through whose laziness the public often suffer the greatest incon venience. One place in particular has been named to us, within 36 miles from the General Post-office,, and consequently where the bags arrive at half-past twelve at night, at which it is not possible to obtain the letters before eight o'clock in the morning, by personal application—nor before nine or half-past nine if the general delivery is waited for. The early coaches to town start at six and at seven, and the opportunity is thus lost of getting to London that forenoon, if the contents of letters received by post render it desirable to do so. Another place has been mentioned to us, not 80 miles from tow n, _at which the bags arrive by seven ; the coach to London sets off at eight, and yet no persuasion can induce the Post-office to deliver the letters till nine. Many other plaCes are, no doubt, similarly situated ; but we are convinced that these in conveniences need only be represented to be obviated. We therefore advise all parties having improvements to suggest, to do so direct to Mr. REELING ; and in any suggestion which we have ourselves been led to make, in alluding to this subject, we beg it to be understood, that we do so under the hill persuasion that the meritorious officer who conducts the depart ment of the Post-office with so much talent and credit to himself, as well as advantage to the 'public, will gladly receive every. suggestion which may be intended to promote the convenience of the public, and with it to enhance the amount of this useful and important branch of the Revenue of the Kingdom.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins Dky.) TILLSOW V. WOODFORD. Mr. HART, on a former occasion obtained leave to have this cause petition in the paper of to-day. The petitioner, Mr. Till son, is a young man expecting to beeome posseseed of an immensely large fortune ; the property, however, was so left, that his guar dians cannot command enough of the property properly to main tain and educate the petitioner. Mr. Hart considered it of great importance to the public, that those who represented large fortunes should have adequate education. Th e j ur i s diction of this Court would not authorize the Cha nce ll or ' s ma ki ng an o rder for the sale of part of the trust estates for the above purpose, but it was thought that the legislature might pass an act authorizing the sale of a suf ficient quantity, and, therefore, the present might be referred to the Muter to inquire whether it was reason able and proper that the petiti oner s h ou ld b e at lib e rty to apply to Parliament. pe tition was, that it Hie LOADSUIP granted the prayer, only obleervit that he did Alen not pledge hie opinion as to th e success one way or LUNATIC PETJTIONS. • • His LORDSHIP considered th at i t, wou ld b e b et t er to go OR Wall these petitions now, as there were some for the payment of money, the non-payment of which might be of immense importance to the parties. IN THE MATTER or SIR GREGORY PAC& TURNER, .11 LESATIC. In this matter four old petitionsstood ---- atthe head of the paper. The first prayed that the lunatic might be relieved from during the pendancy of the traverse. The Court could make no order upon it, but dismissed it. His LORl:mute had looked into the petition very carefully, and found it to be wholly without foundation. The second petition was one praying also, during the petulancy of the traverse, to prevent the cut ti ng o f t i m b er . The Court dis missed it. The third was the petition of Lady Turner, for an additional maintenance. The Court had always had an inclination to do all for her ladyship in its power ; but it had been without power to do her any good. If any thing hereafter 'could be ascertained, which would enable the Court to order her some money, his Lordship would hear it at any time. The fourth was, the petition ._of ex-parts- Cook, praying the discharge of au Order of the 11th of August, 182 b, and that Mr. Corbett, the alleged solicitor of the lunatic, might be restrained from intermeddling with, the lunatic, or his affairs. The brat part of the prayer ought to be granted. If the second pip% proceeded upon an improper interneddling, of ?that had already taken place, the Court would enquire into it, and make the proper order; if, on the other ha n d, the restraint was to be put on Mr. Corbett, whi c h wa s n ot t o b e p u t on any other person in the world, the Court did not think that ouch an order should he made, because, after a party was adjudged a lunatic, any person who presented a petition in his matter, eithef in his own name, (the lunatic's) or any other body's, he did it at the risk of the costs falling entirely upon himself. Mr. HEALD then submitted that the costs of the respondents iu all these petitions, should be retained by the Committee, and paid out of the lunatic's estate. This was not opposed, and his LORDSHIP ordered it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT;—(Tuts DAY.) This Court was occupied this moruing, with Bankrupt Petitions of no public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—(Tuts DAY). ilonSZ-STIALING.—A young man, named Joseph Ross, was brought before Sir John Perring, charged with stealing a mare, valued at el , the property of William Elliot, a butcher, at Lewisham. It appeared by the evidence, that on 'Thursday afternoon, about half-past four, a person named John Wade, servant to Mr. Elliot, put the mare into a field, called Bromley-lane, on the road leading from Lewisham to Bromley, and, upon going for it next morning, it was gone. The prisoner was seen by a country lad named William Gable, riding it from Lewisham on the road to London, early on Friday morning, and it was found in his poems lion, at Stnithtield Afarket, on Friday afternoon.. The prisoner iu his defence handed a written statement to the Magi strate, in which he mentioned that he received it from a person, with whom he was unacquainted, to sell for 61. But the Magi strate, conceiving that the case was perfectly made out, committed him to Newgate to take his trial at the ensuing Sessions. BOW-STREET--(Titts DA r. ) Mary Dogger, a child 8 years old, and Ann Donee, her mother, were, with her father, and another child, charged with stealing seven wet napkins from the garden of Mr. Keeling, of Bruce (hove, Tottenham, Margaret Robinson, servant to Mr. :Kftlipg, siatiQ; than on Saturday afternoon she was looking nut oros. back ,sviuBow, ar!d. saw the child coining trout the garden with something in her pin Cloth, and going out of the gate, when she' wai Met by' her mother and a younger child. Witness hurried down stairs and told her fellow-servant of the fact. She tried to stop them, but could not, and sent for a . constable, who pursued and took them, together with the father. He found the nap kins and some piece. of lead on the child Mary. The mother and father denied all knowledge of the theft ; and the child, when, questioned, said that she had taken them to snake dolls' clothes of, without the knowledge of the others. The mother fell on her knees in the office, and made a great show of repent ance and agitation, but the cant of the beggar was too evident. She declared that she had invited the other servant of Mr. Keling to search both the girl and herself, and which she said was a sufficient proof of her innocence. The male prisoner said that he was a coaclunaker, but out of employ. The Magistrates remanded them till to-morrow, to have the attendance of the other servant- MARLBOROUGII-STREET.- 7 (THts DAY.) Daniel Swedenbour9 was charged with being disorderly, but a watchman saying there was a more serious charge against him, he was ordered to stand back. Two young men were then placed at the bar, charged with being drunk, • which charge being dis posed of, one of them charged the last prisoner with having robbed him of his watch while in the watch-house. Ile stated that he was awoke by the prisoner searching his pockets. He instinctively felt for his watch, which he discovered had been extracted from his fob, together with Is. 6d. which he had in his pocket. He immediately made a complaint to the watch-house keeper, whn found the watch un4er a coat near the form on which complainant was lying. Daniel, who was an Irish plasterer, and an orator to boot, pro ceeded to " elucidate" the affair, hut, instead of clearing it up, made it worse than before. He was remanded for ti week. Margaret Nicholson►, a little, artless looting, pigeon teed Cyprian, was, with another about five feet ten inches high, charged with being disorderly last night, by Hughes Ball, a watchman. He went on to state amusing hasn't, of the former, whom he de scribed as incorrigible, and was conferring *similar favour on the other whom be designated Margaret's cruty, when Mr. Rol re quested a definition of his last term. Hughes was struck with surprise; he said he thought every body knew what a eruty was, and at last explained, that it was neither more or less than a re cruit, whom Margaret had inlisted ; and he finished with a twinging sum total by saying, that she was nearly as bad as her instructor. The unblushing Margaret was unable to answer such a pon derous charge, and was with her truly, committed for ten days to the House of Correction. MEETING ofthe SILK TRADE--(T111s DAY A Meeting of the Silk Manufacturers was convened for one o'clock this day, at the London Tavern, in consequence of a re quisition from a meeting of the operstive classes, suggesting the expediency of adopting a standard price for labourers.

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 12. Since our last report no material alteration has taken place in our market, either as to demand or prices. The market, however, looks fully as healthy as it has for some time past. In power-loom calicoes a slight advance has taken place. The demand for cotton yarn still continues good, but it is difficult to obtain for a large quantity-prices equal to those of last week. In heavy goods little or nothing has been done, and upon the whole the market is flat. We have had through the week a greater influx of buyers for the country trade than for some time past ; we cannot, however, learn that they have made extensive pur chases ; indeed a want of real money seems to place a limit to their operations. Until there is a better de mand for the home trade, we shall certainly not have any improvement in prices. Notwithstanding this, the raw material has experienced a trifling advance, which must arise from a determination of the im porters no longer to go on making sacrifices of their property. MANCHESTER BRANCH BANK OF ENGLAND. It is now no longer a matter of doubt as to the establishment of* rvanch Bank of the Bank of Eng land in our town. The extensive premises in King street,, the property and town residence of Samuel Greg, Esq., have been purchased for that purpose, and a more suitable' situation could not have been selected. Much praise is due to the individual in thus relinquishing, upon the most honourable terms, for the public good, premises which have been occupied by the family for more than half a century. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, died, in the Westminster Hospital William Bass, a pauper belonging to St. Margaret'. work-house. The circumstances of the distressing case were as follow _ . Henry Saunders, who together with the deceased was convey ing a truck duwn St. Martin's-lane on the above morning, deposed that the first obstruction was occasioned by a waggon which touched the hubbard wheel of the truck, by which it became en tangled, and he and deceased lost hold of the handle. Wit ness was on the pavement side, next, St. Martin's church when this happened. Bass suddenly went down, and witness saw the wheel going over his leg, which was under the hind wheel of the waggon, the deceased having slipped down between the two wheels. Two men had taken the deceased to Mr. Mac Nab's, surgeon, and from the shattered state of his leg, he was ordered to be conveyed instantly to the above hospital, as amputation would be requisite. James Thompson, of No. 6, St. Martin's-lane, dealer in shell fish, was sitting at breakfast in his parlour, when he beard a shout, and on its being repeated lie ran out, bnt before be could get to the door the deceased was under the hind wheeel of the waggon. The deceased was lying down, and the waggon was backed, and on the poor man being taken up, it was discovered, that the leg was completely shattered. Witness had seen three carriages pan abreast at the same spot, when his Grace the puke of Northumberland had parties. Six inchis might hate saved the truck, and there was nearly a yard of room for the waggon to pass. _ On Saturday last the driver of the waggon, William Murray, was brought up in the custody of Woodbury, an officer, before the sitting Mmistrates at Queenlquare Office, when the above facts were fully investigated, and a certificate wail submitted from the house surgeon of the Westminster Hospital, which stated that Bass (now deceased) had undergone amputation, and from the aggravated wymptome, no hopes were entertained of his recovery. Mr, Thomas Oark, of Bermondsey, the owner of the waggon, said that the prisoner had driven for him occasionally for 14 et 10 years, and always considered him a very careful drlyov, The prisoner iu his defence said, he cal ra 90t to the men to stop the truck, and had they done .0, the accident would not have happened.

We are happy to state, that the tranquillity of the metropolis continues uudisturbed. The proceedings which had created so much alarm at the commencement of the week have ceased alto gether, and the ebullitions of popular discontent which bad their origin in wretchedness and destitution, have been put down for the present by the strong arm of the law. It is idle, however, to suppose that peace can be long preserved by such means, unless the benevolent and humuie come forward generously to alleviate the distress which now exists to such a frightful extent amongst the operative classes of Dublin. We tread upon a smothered volcano--Ineedimus per ignes supposito s c i ner i d o l oso . Fevea le Dusete.—The fever, we regret to state, is every day extending d tcept gt i l o 'e n of holpitalsand even the t em p orary s h e d s fatted up forpatients, are all full, besides which, we understand, that 300 fever patients are lying in their own rooms, from the impossibility of accommodating them in any of the hoe pitale. The fever, as yet, is confined to the working classes; but an epidemic and very contagious dysentery prevails generally throughout the city ; we have not, however, heard of any instance of its terminating fatally.—Freenion's Journal. While poverty is making such alarming strides on our Wen city, disease follows in its train, and those who have escaped star vetion, fall victims to a malignant typhus. Our readers must have perceived, with no small degree of pain, the statement pub lished in this Journal yesterday by that excellent and indefatigable Physician, Doctor Illagee. The conclusions which such a state-' meat must suggest are obvious. It is too evident, that unless speedy and moist efficient measures are immediately adopted to check the march of such feirlial allies as poverty and contagion, we shall he assailed on one hand by a discontented, because a starving population, while on the other we shall have to contend with a general and deadly epidemic. Need we say more, to awaken the prudence and excite the commiseration of our fellow citizens ?—.3lorniny Register of Saturday. By accounts received from the Cork Southern Reporter, we hear, that the city of Cork it in a state of unparalleled distress. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. 7HURI11111" AUG.

There were tolerable good supplies. of Wheat and Flour lest week, but of other articles in the Corn trade the quantities were small. This morning there is a moderate arrival of Wheat, chiefly of the present year's growth, which is not so heavy, nor so good in colour as that of the previous year. Old Wheat of fair quality folly supports last quotations, but new samples are lts. per quarter lower. Barley rather looks upward. Beaus maintain the prices last quoted, as also do Pease of both descriptions. T he certainty of the ports not op en i ng f or O at . t hi s mont h, h es oc casioned a further advance in the prices of this article of full Ir. per quarter, but the trade cannot be called brisk. In Flour there is no variation. Rape Seed is very dull. ARRIVALS OF LA VT WW• [Wheatllfarley,l Malt. BZ7 Qrs. On. Oat t. Bean*. I.ease. , Flour. Qrs. Qrs. Qn.
